TORONTO, Jan. 15, 2026 (Globe Newswire) — Martinrea International Inc. (TSX:MRE), a diversified global automotive supplier engaged in the design, development and manufacture of highly engineered, value-added lightweight structures and propulsion systems, announces that it has acquired the common stock of Polyalgorithm Machine Learning Inc. (PolyML).
PolyML focuses on advanced machine learning and data analytics designed to find solutions in large, complex, and information-dense datasets. The novel and proprietary Fiins AI technology serves as the core intelligence of Martinrea’s adaptive welding software platform, driving significant improvements in welding quality, efficiency and energy usage. Fiins AI is also deployed in press health monitoring, providing early warning insights that significantly reduce unplanned downtime and maintenance costs. Fiins AI is designed to solve problems in automotive and other manufacturing applications, as well as regulated industries such as financial services and healthcare, where transparency, interpretability, and reliability of advanced analytical models are key considerations for regulators, customers, and other stakeholders.
Martinrea initially invested $1.5 million for a 10% stake in PolyML. This investment is expected to grow to $3 million at 20% interest over the next two years, subject to conditions. Martinrea and PolyML will jointly develop new products and enhancements to the existing Fiins AI platform for use within Martinrea’s internal operations and for sale to third parties, to the benefit of both Martinrea and PolyML. Martinrea has conditional exclusivity with PolyML for specialized solutions for automotive and other specific industrial applications.
“Fiins AI is a key component of Martinrea’s machine learning initiative, and our advanced manufacturing team is making great strides in extending this and other innovative technologies across our global network,” said Pat D’Eramo, Martinrea’s chief executive officer. “As a result, we have significantly improved the cost and efficiency of our manufacturing operations where these solutions have been implemented. Our partnership with PolyML has been central to these efforts, and we look forward to continuing to grow this relationship.”
Mardi Witzel, Chief Executive Officer of PolyML, said: “We are pleased to welcome Martinrea International as both a customer and an investor. “This investment reflects confidence not only in the value of our technology in advanced manufacturing, but also in its relevance to other industries where analytical rigor, interpretability, and reliability are essential. We are grateful for the dedication and support of Martinrea’s leadership team and look forward to continuing our collaboration as PolyML moves into its next phase of growth.”
